Endemic to the Western Ghats, I was lucky to find three males spread out in the shrubs giving out advertisement calls.
Shrubs in wet forests.

"Check out that vocal sac! This Jayaram's Bush Frog (Raorchestes jayarami) is our Spotting of the Day! The vocal sac is used by male frogs to amplify their mating or advertisement call. Raorchestes jayarami (family Rhacophoridae) is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The IUCN has assessed 38 species of Raorchestes, many of them considered Critically Endangered. The Amphibian Specialist Group's list of "lost frogs" (frogs not seen for decades) counts several Raorchestes species".
